As part of their earliest development, babies learn to focus on the faces around them and, eventually, to connect facial expressions with emotions. Imitation of facial expressions is also part of early child development. Here’s a gallery of big, bold, bright Sesame Street Muppet faces–each showing a different expression. A mylar mirror at the end encourages baby to make faces too.The text is big and bold against a tone-on-tone patterned background. Mylar is used throughout to accent the artwork.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Sesame School Random House launches the Sesame Beginnings series, a line of board books designed to teach pre-literacy skills to babies and toddlers. The books are leveled 1-5 to correspond to different developmental stages, and the first book, Baby Faces by Wendy Cheyette Lewison, illus. by Christopher Moroney, connects the facial expressions of familiar Sesame Street characters with phrases such as "Boo-boo" and "Bye-bye." Peekaboo! I See You!, by the same team, engages youngsters with the familiar game; flaps lift to reveal the names of each character ("Someone is hiding. Do you know who? Peekaboo, Big Bird! I see you!). Cookie See! Cookie Do! by Anna Jane Hays, illus. by Barry Goldberg, uses gatefold spreads to highlight the growing physical competency of two-year-olds ("Elmo says, Reach up high. Stand up tall"). Toddlers learn simple games and songs in Pat-a-Cake and Other First Baby Games and Sing a Song of Sixpence and Other First Songs for Baby, both illus. by Tom Brannon. (May)

Just Okay,

This review is from: Baby Faces (Sesame Street) (Sesame Beginnings) (Board book)
I really like the Sesame Beginnings series, but this is not my favorite in the line. It just doesn't have much. I understand that it is for 0-6 months, but even at 3 months, my baby preferred the 6+ month books with real words and sentences(i.e. "How Big is Baby Elmo?")
My son is uninterested until we get to the last page with the mirror, and even then, it makes him no more excited than our wall mirror... Overall, it's not a bad book, but it's just not as good as the others in the series.

Wonderful book 5 months and above,
By A Customer
This review is from: Baby Faces (Sesame Street) (Sesame Beginnings) (Board book)
I bought this book when my daughter was 3 months old. She didn't enjoy it at that time, but now that she is 6 months she LOVES it! She laughs whenever we read her this book. The only downfall I have encountered with it is one of the pages is no-no and now she associates no or no-no with fun instead of a discipline word. So we skip over the no-no page and do the others. Overall though...she thoroughly enjoys the book and I would recommend it. I am now buying all Sesame Beginnings (age appropriate) because the large faces and colors seem to appeal to my daughter and the first 2-3 books are simple enough to read to her even now.
